I bought one for my car from ebay - they come up every now and again. I got the full package, with the owners manual, security book, radio book, dealer network book etc and the toyota plastic holder for about a tenner.

I'm currently downloading some files by emule, quite slow, but it sounds free so I can wait :-)

I saw you posted some messages about Carina E rattle ... My car has also this strange noise, someone explained in another thread that is because of alternator belt.

In fact, I went to garage, and the mechanic tried running my car for a while, and he thought, there was nothing special, but he recomended me to do a maintenance. I just bought my car, and don't have much money if it is a big maintenance ... so let it be, may be in a next few months I'll comback to garage.

Yes, I read all thread conerning about "Carina E rattle" including yours, they are helpful.

I bought the car when I had only one driving course (2 hours, because I wanted the car for training myself). I didn't know anything about car, even how to drive. After some phone call, I made an appointement with the seller at the train station. He took me to his home where I saw his parents and they said it was a very good car ... I think old people is more serious than young people. Then he drove me at home and said if any problem he would help me (unfortunately, I have no way to contact him now, neither phone or email ...) I took risk, I know but I didn't have other choice, I'm a foreign student ... I will go to a Toyota garage soon, I can take risk for money but not for my life.

Now I've got a provisional driving license. Some time my car rattles and I said to myself that is because I'm not yet a good driver. The ridiculous thing is even when I do nothing, neither clutch nor gas, brake (on high way) just keep the same vitesse and I heard the noisy (it will disappear if I reduce the vitesse a little).

if ya look hard enough you can get the entire toyota workshop manual coving all vehicles on pdf igot mine from
a russian site a while back then my pc died so i too am after a carina manal hop this might help if i find one ill post info here

I have the damn rattle too, and i think its the cover to the driveshaft thingie or something that is loose. When i got the car i first saw the screw was loose, i tightened it but it fell out after a while. I have considered welding it but decided against it, its only audiable when the rpm is below 700 (wich is impossible the toyota garage sais)
